Just had to share my progress pics.. It's been awhile since I've done that!! the top left picture is day one of pre-op diet and same for picture underneath.. Second picture on top is one month after surgery June 5th, same date underneath, and last picture on top right is January 26th 2016.. I feel so much better and can't believe the amazing progress I've made.. I went from a 4x shirt to a medium.. And 52 waist to a 34.. Crazy isn't it... I hope everyone else is having such great success.. post-242829-14539843248537_thumb.jpg post-242829-14539843359612_thumb.jpg

@@Salonboi I had gastric bypass on Oct 1st, 2015... I was about 425 before the 2-week preop liquid diet and was down to 404 lbs the morning of surgery. So about 100lbs lost since the morning of surgery 4 months ago. Doing well, still losing, but it's starting to slow I think. Wife and I went to Boston earlier this month for a hockey tournament for my son... didn't lose anything over those 5 days. There was a whole foods across the street from the hotel, so most meals we swung by there and I'd get 3/4 to a cup of salad or their premade cold salad... I have a feeling the premade salads were a little heavy on fat/sugar and thus calories. Anyhow, since then things have been much more routine, and the scale has been moving slightly again. I think this next week is when I'm going to start with the strength training to hopefully maintain any of my muscle mass and increase my metabolism.

Amazing progress.... That 4 month mark is exactly the same time I noticed the slowdown.. I would go a week or two after that and lose nothing, but then all of a sudden 10lbs gone in a week. So sounds like you are exactly on track. Us bigger guys drop major poundage, quick!! Pretty soon they will be calling ya skinny and I hope you aren't planning on losing anymore weight lol.. It can be somewhat annoying, as I'm like how do you know what my body should do weight wise.. Are you able to take the constant compliments well? That was a tough one at first for me, as I felt it was constantly pointing out my failure to myself.. But now I've learned how to except it.. But for me, I had to come up with my response, and rehearse it, so I had something to say back.. It helped me focus on the compliment and then I moved on to next subject lol.. I wish you continued success.. I'm assuming you are from Michigan? I'm originally from Grand Rapids. Most of my family still there..

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
